Abstract: Extracted text; This session will review the following Online Librarian practices: embedded librarianship, online monthly workshops on demand, and collaborative service-learning courses. Three librarians from various North Carolina libraries will review their best practices and suggestions for implementation for the three practices. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and take away the process to create their own need-specific programs. Learning Objectives for the Session: Explain the concept of “embedded librarianship” and how to implement a comprehensive strategy to market embedded librarianship and maintain collaborative faculty relationships. Review the need and strategies for developing online monthly workshops and discuss the process for implementation.
